I was about to order the dual oil pressure sender but noticed that there is a relo kit for this sender. Is it necessary if I have the engine tin off?

yes, use the relo kit which is a brake line and clamp. Makes it alot easier in the long run.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The dual sending unit will not fit in the stock location. The kit includes an extension hose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

Thanks, that saved me a future headache. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I was planing on screwing it in later so that I could complete the engine assm. Glad I asked.

If you have the tin removed, just open up the sender hole. That's what I did. Thread the dual unit directly into the case. |

Makes a major cooling air leak. The Cap'n |

+1 on the paintball air hose. Use a little thread sealant.

So if I buy a paint ball hose, and I wouldn't know where, will it come with the correct size ends?
